Yes that is very high blood pressure! I had those same readings, my doctor prescribed BP meds and it was still high. THEN, I researched causes of high blood pressure! Low potassium!
I had my doctor check my potassium, which was in the lowest possible range of normal, so she said nothing. However, I found that taking potassium along with two cal-mag-zincs (Potassium needs that ratio of calcium and magnesium to potassium to be in proper balance.)
Well, my blood pressure normalized within a few days- from readings as high as 185/110 to now being a consistent 120's over 70's.
In looking for the right potassium supplement, I found that a lot of them were very weak- only 2% of the RDA. Get something a lot higher than that! Potassium gluconate is a better formula.
I have passed this on to several friends with high blood pressure and they also got immediate results! Medicines are a last resort, and not only do not treat the cause, but can further deplete your potassium levels. I'd love to hear from you after you have tried this. The results come very quickly. I take mine at night before bedtime, and usually on a mostly empty stomach. Good luck!
